VOLCANO AND BEACH GETAWAY

Day1 - ARENAL VOLCANO

Welcome to Costa Rica! Upon arrival at
Liberia Airport, transfer to the Arenal Volcano area (an approximate
3-hour drive.) Along the way, we’ll cross the cowboy plains of the
Guanacaste Province and admire the pristine shoreline, beautiful
mountain ranges, and volcanoes. The journey continues with the
beautiful scenery of the Arenal Lake and its surrounding natural
landscapes and country villages. Overnight at your selected hotel in
the Arenal area.

Day2 - ARENAL VOLCANO

Enjoy a full-day tour discovering the
natural wonders of the northern wetlands. Join in a floating safari
along the Río Frío and the Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge that form a
biological wetlands site, one of Costa Rica's richest areas of natural
diversity. While paddling along, experienced guides will teach you
about the different species you may encounter - monkeys, caimans,
iguanas, crocodiles, sloths, and turtles. This network of languid
lagoons is also a birding wonderland. (B,L)

Day3 - ARENAL VOLCANO

Day at leisure to explore the area at your
own pace. We highly recommend a visit to the Arenal Volcano
National Park (optional excursion), one of the top destinations for
travelers in Costa Rica. While the volcano is still alive and spews
smoke, it entered into an indeterminate resting phase in 2010. Other
attractions are the Venado Caves and La Fortuna Waterfall and many
activities such as whitewater rafting, rainforest hikes, hot springs,
canopy zip-lining, and more! (B)

Day 4 - ARENAL VOLCANO I GUANACASTE

Arenal for the Guanacaste area that forms part of Costa Rica’s North
Pacific Region, where hundreds of pristine beaches await you!
Guanacaste draws visitors with its vast bird watching, amazing
horseback riding, excellent surfing, and superb snorkeling. Also,
great mountain lake windsurfing, ATV tours, and a bustling nightlife
attract the more adventurous. Enjoy the next 4 nights at your
selected all-inclusive resort. (B,D)
